thanks-I think it was one of the lower slung later Falcons that Andrews bought from Troyer (like in the last photo). Ken Andrews still has a machine shop on Industrial Drive in Burlington (although he no longer advertises so perhaps he's semi-retired). Maybe it's time to do a little exploring.

I vaguely remember the car as well. I remember he had it up to Flamboro, if we're talking about the same car, it was brand new then he took it to Mosport and that was the end of it???

 statman i have thought about this for awhile and i think you have it right and heres why.  If you look at the pic i posted you will notice the right front wheel is a  light weight bolt together magnesium rim and if you look the final pic you posted it also has the light weight bolt together magnesium rims i am pretty sure they banned those rims for the 1973 season which would explain why the car with the stripes on the back has steel wheels .

 I know the colour pic i posted has a gold painted steel wheel on the right rear but that was not unusual since nobody had to may sets of the magnesium rims because they were so pricey and they would break when somebody got into them . I am not positive but i think i am right about this .

 I really cant really remember when and how the stripes where on Scannells car because being with an opposing team we were working on rubbing those things off that Dodge most nights, again i think my rim theory is correct.

 Maybe this will help if you cross reference the other cars to Scannells .
Boos #9 MaKarra #42 Lelliot #57 Setterington #54

 Notice Scannell was running that flouresent orange wing at the time.

re the Camaro Kitchen destroyed at Mosport. Was it owned by a car dealer from Hamilton named Yates (Ross Yates) or something like that?

The Sublime Lorne Wise Garage Barracuda at Flamboro with a bevy of drivers winning and no one named crashing ;).




I recall this crash on the backstretch at Flamboro as one of the most violent that I've seen. If my memory is correct, Terry Kitchen was driving.

After a good nights sleep and thinking about this further i realized the flaw in my "magnesium wheel" theory. Not all tracks banned them at the same time . Places like Pinecrest banned them a year a head of places like Flamboro as i recall now . Tire size had reached its widest during this period 17.50 then we went to 15.50 and then 12.50 all in 3 or 4 years , again all tracks did it on a different time table .

A little O/T but these sure were not Chev's . HideAway Speedway 1968.  The TQs were always fun and you had to be brave to run with out a cage
